Sergio Aguero joins the 200 club

The Argentine has now broken into the 200 club after netting the opener in the Community Shield against Chelsea on Sunday. He is now part of a select group to have notched a double ton for a single club in English football, joining a host of legends in the game Most recently it was Wayne Rooney who joined that list on his way to 253 goals for Manchester United. Before the Everton striker there was Frank Lampard, who reached 211 goals at Chelsea, and Thierry Henry, the only player to net over 200 times for Arsenal. Alan Shearer netted the last of his 206 goals for Newcastle in 2006, a total bettered by one by Matt Le Tissier at Southampton. Aguero is now the 27th player from a current Premier League club to have surpassed the 200 goal mark for a single side. Dixie Dean leads the way having scored 383 times for Everton between 1925 and 1937, way ahead of Ian Rush's haul of 346 just over half-a-century later across Stanley Park.
